I was reading of the Liberty Ships of WWII which brought up the area of Loch Ewe. On seeing the picture of a WW sailor by the bell of the "Henry Bacon", I found a short story of the Henry Bacon during its final voyage. These stories bring tears to my eyes and I had to share the reference to the book I found the story in. The title of the book is LIBERTY SHIPS, The Ugly Ducklings of World War II. Author John Gorley Bunker. Published by Naval Institue Press. Copyright 1972. The book has a list of all the Libertyships, and lots of history about the class and many individual ships during worldwide operations which they participated in during a terrible time in world history. I never knew of Loch Ewe but on hearing of it being in Scotland and my father coming from Peterhead I thought I would do some checking. Then I found your site and I want to thank you for all the information which you have put together and the interesting comments a sincere Thank You. Regards, Donald Joss I have just found you site.
